Dr. Craig Ryder is a digital anthropologist whose interests span the digital mix, including the platformisation of information, emergent applications of AI, and digital research methodologies. As a postdoctoral researcher on the ERC-funded SMALL PLATFORMS project at LMU, he is investigating extreme speech in the UK. His PhD from SOAS (University of London) explored activism on social media in Sri Lanka, examining how influencer cultures are shaping political interactions and mobilisation. Craig is also the founder of the Digital Studies Collective (DiSCo), an interdisciplinary network of researchers who curate the DiSCo Journal — an experimental publication exploring digital art, culture, and methods.
